CAGE SEGMENT OF A TAPERED-ROLLER BEARING, AND TAPERED-ROLLER BEARING

摘要

The invention relates to a cage segment (7) of a tapered-roller bearing, having two circumferential webs (10), which are situated opposite one another and which extend in each case between a first circumferential end (13) and a second circumferential end (14) of the cage segment (7), and having at least two connecting webs (11) which are situated opposite one another and which connect the two circumferential webs (10) to one another and, together with the circumferential webs (10), form at least one pocket (12) for receiving a conical rolling body (6). The circumferential webs (10) and the connecting webs (11) have pocket sides which delimit the pocket (12). The circumferential webs (10) and the connecting webs (11) arranged in the region of the first circumferential end (13) and of the second circumferential end (14) have surroundings sides situated opposite the pocket sides. The connecting webs (11) arranged in the region of the first circumferential end (13) and of the second circumferential end (14) have, in each case on the pocket side thereof and on the circumferential side thereof, a concavely shaped first guide surface (16) for partially engaging around a rolling body (6) in the circumferential direction thereof. The circumferential webs (10) project beyond the first circumferential end (13) and the second circumferential end (14) at a maximum to such an extent that they cannot make contact with the circumferential webs (10) of a further cage segment (7) of identical design when a rolling body designed to be received in the pocket is arranged between the first circumferential end (13) of the cage segment (7) and the second circumferential end (14) of the further cage segment (7), and the cage segment (7), the further cage segment (7) and the rolling body (6) are arranged in a way which corresponds to the installed state in the tapered-roller bearing.
